obama watched santa's progress from hawaii last night. i want to bring in brianna keilar who joins us from hawaii. i guess if anybody has the inside scoop to where santa is, it is probably the first lady, right, don't you think? >> reporter: exactly right, and it was very cute. she was talking to kids who were tracking santa as norad followed where he was going. it's obviously still very early here, suzanne, as you know, but we don't have anything on the president's public schedule today. that said, he normally does visit with troops on christmas day so we won't be surprised at all if he does that again. sam cast, the white house chef, has come on this trip out to hawaii, and he will be preparing the meal for the obamas at the house that they're renting about 45 minutes drive from where we are in waikiki. also another sort of fun thing, this involving the first lady, the white house releasing a video of her appearance earlier this month at the national children's medical center. this is a tradition that dates back to the 1950s and it's pr
